Hardware Setup

Overview

For convenience and flexibility using a PS/2 interface, the ACS1208A / ACS1216A's design utilizes KVM adapter cables that serve as intermediaries between the KVM switch and the connected computers.

A separate KVM adapter cable is required for each computer connection. The KVM adapter cables are listed in the Cables section on page 4. Consult your dealer to find out which KVM adapter cables best fit your needs.
